Synthesis of tripalladated tri-ortho-substituted 1,3,5-benzenetristyryl Pd(II) complexes, and a derived dipalladated indenone.
The synthesis and coordination chemistry of sterically small caged phosphines, and their applications as ligands in homogeneous catalysis.
Dual steric enhancement was achieved through the combination of a dearomatized acenaphthyl backbone and bulky ortho substituents. The role of this bulky backbone in metal-catalyzed ethylene (co)polymerization was investigated.
This review summarises the recognition of carbohydrates using metal-ligand assemblies, including metallosupramolecules, macrocycles, and cages. It also highlights the challenges and future directions in the field.
We propose a metal π-Lewis base activation mode in the Pd(0)-catalyzed trans-difunctionalization of alkyne, wherein electron flows to the alkyne Pd(0) center through a back donation to realize the nucleophilic addition to the electrophiles.
